André Guijon (November, 1548 – September, 1631) was a French churchman andorator.
He was born inAutun, the son ofJean Guijon, a physician and Oriental scholar, who travelled in the East and brought back to France aGreekmanuscript copy of theNew Testament, dating from the eleventh century. He had three brothers with more than one title to fame: Jacques, Jean, and Hugues, all three lawyers, writers, and savants.
Philibert de la Mare, counsellor at the Parliament ofDijon, collected the principal works of the four brothers in one volume, inquarto of 612 pages, under the title "Jacobi, Joannis, Andreæ et Hugonis fratrum Guiionorum opera varia" (1658). This contained both theirprose works and Latinpoems.
André became vicar-general toCardinal de Joyeuse, and afterwards to theBishop of Autun. He went toRome to be consecrated and came back to France in 1586. His "Remontrance à la cour du Parlement de Normandie sur l'octroy des sentences fulminatoires" is extant. His "Eloge funèbre de Pierre Jeannin" has not been preserved.
